Punch Egg Roll XL Shipping Next Week
Punch will release the Egg Roll XL next week. The larger format expands the brand’s Chinese New Year series with familiar blend components and playful packaging.
A Bigger Take on the Original Egg Roll
Punch first introduced the Egg Roll in 2019. The cigar launched as part of Scandinavian Tobacco Group’s non-Cuban portfolio. The concept blended humour with approachable pricing.
The 2026 release arrives as the Egg Roll XL. The cigar measures 6 x 60, a notable jump from the original 4 1/2 x 50 size. The larger ring gauge targets smokers who prefer fuller formats.
Punch retains the brushed foot design. The bottom portion of the cigar remains wrapper-free. This detail exposes the binder and creates a distinctive visual cue.
Blend and Construction
The Egg Roll XL keeps the original blend intact. A Connecticut broadleaf wrapper anchors the profile. An Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed binder supports the structure.
The filler combines tobaccos from Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the United States. This multi-national blend delivers balance and approachability. Punch clearly prioritises familiarity for returning fans.
Pricing, Packaging, and Release Date
Punch sets the MSRP at $7.99 per cigar. The company packs the release in boxes of 20. Each box resembles a traditional Chinese takeout container.
The cigar is scheduled to ship on Monday, 2 February. Retailers should receive stock shortly after shipment. The accessible price point positions the Egg Roll XL as an impulse-friendly limited edition.
The Chinese New Year Series Legacy
Punch has issued several themed releases since 2019. The series often draws inspiration from American Chinese cuisine rather than zodiac animals.
Previous releases include:
Punch Egg Roll (2019) — 3,000 bundles of 25
Punch Chop Suey (2020) — 3,650 boxes of 25

Scott Abney, brand manager for Punch, noted strong demand for the original Egg Roll. The XL format answers that feedback directly.
Market Context for 2026
Many cigar companies are launching Year of the Horse products. Chinese New Year will take place on 17 February 2026. Punch continues to differentiate through food-inspired themes rather than zodiac imagery.
